“A Better Ending” [commitment – stage of change]

From pre-aware I moved this week,
To more aware of what I seek
By way of understanding now
What must be done, in making vow –

To move along this road a bit –
It’s flexible when one commits
To choice one makes re: future acts,
Not tied at all to gathered facts.

Now I’m aware, I’ve tried it on –
Short time, I know, but this has gone
On long enough – seven decades plus –
“I’m out of here – I’ve had enough!”

And that, of course, “Commitment” makes;
Delay in this is big mistake;
Of course I need more info, but,
It’s not to make the choice – and thus –

The info’s more to shape my acts
So they connect up with the facts;
In meantime I commit to this –
A life-style change to boost our bliss.

Like “put a better ending on
The story” – mine – far as I’ve gone –
I see there’s better choices now,
Which opened eyes have thus allowed.

’Tis Len who gave a that model once –
“Change ending of your story, dunce,
For road you’re on is better, mate –
make change today – don’t hesitate!”

So yes – now let’s spell all that out
For later times, dispel such doubt
Which might accrue as memory
Fades into night – releasing me –

Into a time of spin and churn;
No time for that (to this re-learn) –
So here it is – the…what again?
“Stu, just slow down – avoid the pain.”

Okay, O Lord – I now commit
To let You be resource of “It” –
The “It”, agreed, is larger task
You must complete ’fore end at last.

How You resource is up to You –
Direct or indirect – You choose;
If that means doing task without,
Perhaps that’s ’bout disciples route –

As they began, “No coat or purse,
No tools – if nil, you could do worse,
Until such time as I release
You to “Sell coat”, “Buy sword”, “Join feast”.

Lord if that means, “Seek, ask, and knock”
To deal with giver’s hearts now locked,
I’m hearing – “Yours is not to do
The actions – Jubilee’s for you –

“Set others free to give, partake
In body life, for Kingdom’s sake;
Get in, start things, let others do
The things you start – they’ll copy you.

“You don’t need resource for your task;
Connect folks up – flow through as asked,
But not in ways that cover blow
Of giver-types – but that you know.”

And books, and paper-trail, and pix,
What of that stuff? “Use it to fix
The fix I fixed to fix their fix –
Don’t fix “Direct” or they’ll be blixed.”

“Stu, if you need resource as such;
It will be there – what e’er you touch
Will turn to gold, prosper indeed,
That you “Five-thousand-crowd” can feed.

“Enabled, but quite indirect,
Like Kit you gave at first – it fit,
But unknown to receiver-guy;
You’ll never know the reason why.”

Lord, what I hear is, “Mix of things”
“Outflow of cash, resource, now brings
A resolution, with resolve
To funding ’till that problem’s solved.

“That’s right, there, Stuie-babe press on;
Just don’t rely on ‘Stuff’ – that’s gone
As base to operate from here,
Until the end – more “Ice that’s clear”.

“I’ll show you as you go from here
That ‘Info’ part is mixed – don’t fear
To walk ahead, I’ll guide the way
For you to go – now – seize the day.”

Lord, what about the mess I’ve here –
Both good and bad – a weight, that’s clear?
“Stu, that will come; keep loose your grip;
Engaging tasks assigned with it.”

Lord this is better – scary though,
I’m glad the future, past, You know,
Invite us into present day;
That Kingdom comes without delay.

Thanks Lord for this.
